Still trying to figure what you may be able to see or be looking for after the head is removed?

Remove all the plugs and stick a probe camera down the spark plug hole and have someone turn the engine over, you should be able to see if there's a problem by doing that.
If you don't have one already they are quite reasonable to buy and you will find other uses for them once you have one.

Another good idea and a lot less work...Thanks! Thanks for all the suggestions guys, I really appreciate the input.Comment

One other simple suggestion with starting fluid...remove the suspect cylinder spark plug and spray directly into the head. Replace plug and try to start. If the cylinder fires, it might be very brief and it could be difficult to hear that it does indeed combust so you might have to do it a few times to be certain that spark and compression are good.Comment

Sounds like a plugged fuel flow to me. If the cylinder is not firing how do you know that it is getting fuel?
